arkracing · 07-25-2005, 03:58 PM

Stunning truck man. That is super nice and nothing beats a 454 4x4 with a GV overdrive!!!!!!!!!

I'd take that over a new truck anyday!!!!

I found 1 Flaw with the whole thing...hey somone's gotta do it right???:

Look here I drew a little arrow, just take it off the key ring and you'll be good to go

don't need the demon's playing around with your new truck

Great work - and ditto on the awesome body panel alignment

Bram · 07-25-2005, 04:01 PM

You got that right! LOL, Good eye by the way.

BLAZERMAN · 07-26-2005, 12:08 AM

Thanks for the extra pics, can you give any info on the install of the GV overdrive behind the 205?. I've seen them mounted behind TH400s before, is that another special adapter between it and the transfer case?

Bram · 07-26-2005, 09:05 AM

Hey Blazerman, here are some wright up's from GV's site that are better than I could do. Hope this helps?

Bram you have built my dream truck. Just awesome.

Can you explain what chassis you started with and what it took to get where you are now? Just the basics on the chassis mainly.

And why is one of your header dumps turned inward towards the OD?

Bram · 09-29-2005, 03:21 PM

Kobayashi, the chassis is a 72 3/4 ton frame with a Dana 60 front end, 14 bolt rear end, a 454 with a th400, NP205 with Gear Vendors overdrive behind that. I'm running 4.10 gears, with a Detroit locker in the rear. It has a two-inch soft ride lift, with overload springs in the rear.

And why is one of your header dumps turned inward towards the OD?
Don't know why the exhaust guy did that?

nitor · 09-29-2005, 09:30 PM

Very nice looking truck.

red71cheyenne · 09-29-2005, 09:41 PM

Bram, super nice truck!!! Can't wait to get home and see it in person. My farm is in Seymour. What is the purpose of the header dumps? I've seen them, but don't know what they are for. Later, Jeff.

**special-K** · 09-29-2005, 10:04 PM

Awesome,subtle,yet awesome!That`s the kind of truck that people who know what they`re lookin`at can appreciate.

*wolfthing2000* · 09-29-2005, 10:32 PM

Now that is what it is all about!!!! You just filled my tanks with more insperation friend ( not that I realy needed more) but sometimes you need to look at long term projects like this one to regain the patience of that vision you have ( as you did).
Nice Job!! Passes inspection

llegos · 09-29-2005, 10:35 PM

lookin real good.

al's71gmc · 09-29-2005, 11:15 PM

That is Absolutely Awsome!! My grandpa's last vehicle was a 64 1/2 convertible mustang. Looks like we both had pretty cool gramps. The more pics you post the better that truck looks. Interior is sweet. Love the seats. Are those power windows and locks? 4x4 of the year in my book!! Do you plan on showing it? If so, you better put an addition on your home for a trophy room.

Russell · 09-30-2005, 12:03 AM

Holy cow that thing is amazing!

You're sure it didn't roll off the showroom at the dealership 5 minutes before you snapped those pics?

I mean, like WOW!!

**Canadian694x4** · 09-30-2005, 12:54 AM

Great Googly Moogly!!! Wicked Truck!

muddpile · 09-30-2005, 01:51 PM

That looks great! How do you like the custom autosound stereo, and where did ou pick it up? For me its that, glovebox or cut the dash.

Jimbotronics · 09-30-2005, 02:41 PM

Very very nice work my friend - looks awesome!

**gregfull** · 09-30-2005, 02:44 PM
